I'm using springboot but I don't want it to copy my webapp folder during maven-war-plugin task because it contains a lot of files like bower_components folder. I'm using grunt so I'm adding another folder to my war.

[INFO] Copying webapp resources [D:\Workspaces\MyProject\trunk\src\main\webapp]
I tried a lot of things like excluding it in <resources>
or like
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/webapp</directory>
<exclude>**/*</exclude>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I can't find a way to exclude it from resource copy.
The default directory for the exploded WAR is target/<finalName> . The finalName is usually in the form of <artifactId>-<version> . This default directory can be overridden by specifying the webappDirectory parameter.
Using the mvn:war:exploded command, we can generate the exploded WAR as a directory inside the target directory. This is a normal directory, and all the files inside the WAR file are contained inside the exploded WAR directory.
packagingExcludes: The comma separated list of tokens to exclude from the WAR before packaging. With packagingExcludes, the tokens are completely excluded from the final war file. With warSourceExcludes, the tokens are just ignored when copying the war directory into the war file.
It's not SpringBoot's fault, maven-war-plugins always copy webapp folder, so we changed it's source by our wanted source.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<warSourceDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/webapp-dist</warSourceDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
